Taming The Casanova novel Chapter 65

Manyata's POV

Bhabhi told Sahil that I also made Paneer kheer for him and he smiled faintly.

"  I kept some kheer in the freezer to cool it faster, I will go and get it. " Bhabhi said.

" I will get it bhabhi... " I got that and served it to him.

" Thanks," he said and smiled but didn't look at me.

" So, here is your favourite kheer, try and tell us, how is it." bhabhi said. Sahil tried and closed his eyes.

What was he thinking?? Why was he behaving like that??

" Amazing... "  He said and I kind of liked it.

" Have more... "

" Bhabhi, it seems to be your favourite dialogue while eating, but I swear, I will burst at the seams if I eat more. "

" I will keep this for you, you can eat when you come back from your work," Bhabhi said and he smiled.

" You are going to work?? Why??  I planned an outing today. " bhai sa said.

" I was getting calls from Delhi office so have to solve some issues here. " He said and bhai sa nodded.

After breakfast, he said bye to everyone and went away without saying anything or giving a smile to me. 

Was he hurt or angry? Was I being very difficult with him??

Bhabhi noticed that and she asked me, " Did anything happen Manu? As he was behaving in a different way. "

But I didn't know what to say. I felt a bit awkward in saying everything but I told her.

  " He wanted to go out with me but I had lots of work to do. So I refused. He tried to persuade me and offered me to pick Sagar Ji and Damini from the airport. "  

" You should have gone out with him. He is also busy but he is taking out time to mend this relationship between you two. You must take some efforts too. "

" Bhabhi you think, that I should have gone with him? "

" Yes definitely,  you should have... "

" But how could I go with him ?? "

" Why not?? He is not a stranger. He is your husband. "

" I don't fully trust him..."

" He would not hurt you, you know that and how will you build trust between you, if you don't give it a try??

" I don't know, I am confused.  "

" All the best... But let me tell you, he is trying his level best. And trust me that you are falling for him too. I hope you realise it soon. " Bhabhi said with a faint smile and get on with her work.

I should not have rejected his plan for a day out.

I didn't want to do that... I was just a bit scared to spend time with him alone. He was being very... Naughty.

I couldn't help thinking about him. His gaze and unreadable expressions and his very handsome face all were affecting me.

I thought of the tingling sensation that I felt in my body, his sweet and tormenting kisses, his continuous gaze... everything was creating havoc in me.

I was not sure if, I wanted him to be near me or not. I got uncomfortable whenever he tried to come closer to me or kissed me but at the same time, I felt comfortable and safe around him.

I wanted him to leave me alone, yet I was disappointed and sad when he didn't even look at me or talked to me.

What was all this?? Was I really falling for him?? What if, he goes back to other girls, as old habits die hard.

I was confused as hell, but then I pulled myself together as I had work to do as the exhibition was coming and I had to take a leave to go to Chandigarh for Swati's engagement.

Bhai sa and bhabhi asked me to come with them to his friend's place but I did not want to go. They were reluctant to leave me alone but I told them that I had lots of work to do.

They got ready and went to Gautam Ji's place. He had planned to go for an outing earlier, but as I refused to go and Sahil also went away, they had to change the programme.

I was supposed to work that day, but somehow I couldn't do much work, as Satan came coming back to my mind to distract me.

The doorbell rang and I went to open it. It was barely 2 hours. So it could not be bhai sa or bhabhi sa.

The door opened and I was shocked.

OMG !!!!! There stood someone very close to my heart. 

Vidhi...  My cousin and  Vikram bhai's younger sister. She was almost my age so we were quite close to me.

She shrieked and hugged me very hard. I was so excited to see her.

" What are you doing here??" She asked with a big grin on his face.

" I am staying with bhai sa for the time being. "

" I had some work in Delhi for a few days, so I came. It is so good to meet you. We are going to have fun. "

We both came inside. I was so excited. I called up bhabhi to tell them that vidhi had come. She said that bhai sa had to go to the hospital but she would come right away.

Within 30 minutes bhabhi came and she came to my room hearing our excited voices.

" Surprise bhabhi !!!! " She shouted and bhabhi was very excited to see her as well. They hugged each other. We all were so happy.

Bhabhi called bhai sa to tell that vidhi was here so he should come home soon if he could. I knew bhai sa would have been really excited to come home.

" Vikram wants to come right now but he has to do a surgery in an hour. "

" It's ok bhabhi, I will wait for bhai. But right now I am very hungry, let's have food. "  She said and three of us had lunch and talked for hours.

My mind was a bit distracted because of Vidhi but I missed that satan.

Sahil did not come back the whole day. He seemed to be annoyed with me.

I was feeling very bad now.

Sahil's POV

I got up and saw the most beautiful sight. Manyata was in my arms and was trying to wake me up.

" What is it, honey?? " I said

She seemed angry but somehow looked more pretty with a red face.

" Don't call me that ... And just leave me. " She said and I  loosened my arms reluctantly.

She got out of the bed immediately and glared at me. I felt that my arms missed her so I grabbed her pillow in my arms.

" Why did you sleep here?? "

" Oh! You forgot?? Last night we slept together. "

" What?? Are you out of your mind?? We just watched a movie, I must have slept...but why didn't you go to your room? "

" Well just like you, I also slipped into slumber. "

" Get up and go to your room. "

" Why honey?? I love it here... "

" You... You... You are so irritating and annoying. " She said and went out of the room.

I buried my face in the pillow. It smelt like her. I loved it. 

I went to the kitchen after some time and she was cooking something. I wanted to talk to her but she was annoyed with me.

I know, that she was embarrassed about sleeping in my arms. But it was such a heavenly feeling as if I had come home.

I asked her to spend the day with me but she denied as expected. I tried again but when she mentioned Mohit,  I really felt bad.

I came back to my room. He was so important to her. I also had work but I was trying to mend everything that I ruined in the past.

I took a cold shower and my temper cooled down. Maybe I was going too fast or maybe she needed some space and time to think and understand.

I had feelings for her but she did not have. So I must give her some space.

I decided to go and do my work. So I went to our Delhi office and resolved all the issues. I also attended a few meetings and then it was evening. I wanted to go back to my Manu but thought that I should give her some space.

Just half an hour had passed but it seemed like many hours. I wanted to see her. So I thought of going to that tailor's shop ... I mean office. But they were not there.

I was getting restless so I decided to meet Sujoy, one of my very good friends. I called him and we went to have dinner together. He suggested going to some pub or club but I didn't want to.

It was nice meeting him after so long.  We enjoyed our time talking. I wanted to tell him about Manu but then decided against it. I thought that I would invite him to Swati's engagement and then introduced her to him. So I invited him to Chandigarh for the engagement.

It was time to go to the airport, I wish Manu was with me but I guess she needs some time and space.
